Interesting Boost Info

[OxyGenIII]

I hit 22psi. Stock. NVM the fmic temp. The Ranger must use a different sensor than the Focus ST I used to have so it doesn't read the same.

What are you using to view these?

A Bluetooth OBDII reader and the Torque Pro app on Android.

Are you using a custom PID for the boost value?

Yes. You can download the extra Ford Specific PIDs. I never changed the value though, it is was it came when I downloaded the extra PIDs

Interesting, my MAP equation doesnt include the "-BARO" at the end.

So, do they make 22psi boost stock? Thanks

Let's see what @Lunchbox88 reads and we can confirm if that is normal for a stock Ranger.

Ill check it on my way home from work and let you know.

Ill check it on my way home from work and let you know.

If you can find a working PID for the charge air temperature (intercooler temps) let me know. Mine isn't correct for the Ranger. It worked fine on my old Focus ST so not sure what has changed. And Google isn't helping me at all.

Will do, Ill try to mess around with it today and tomorrow.

Ok I messed with it a bit after work. From what I can tell the "[FORD]IAT2 (Method 2)" PID is for the charge air temp measured at the intake manifold. So after the turbo and inter-cooler. Seemed to line up with what I would expect and brief research shows some other ecoboost guys using this.

Also the Torque built in "Turbo Boost & Vacuum Gauge" Seemed to be the correct PID for intake pressure that automatically takes out the Barometric pressure. Its what worked best on my truck.

As for peak boost, just messing around on my way home from the gym I saw 21.5psi max. Possible with a pull on an on-ramp or highway 22 or greater should be within reason.

PS ignore the dumb gauge layout, I was just adding a bunch of PID's to check for function.

That's great news @Lunchbox88 ! Thank you for sharing that with us. I'll add the IAT2 pid to my list and check it out tomorrow.

Here is how I check if the gauge/PID is correct, do you think this would be an acceptable way to see if it's accurate?
Upon cold start, have torque pro running.
Instantly compare ambient vs intake temp, vs IAT2 temp, these should all be very very close for a few seconds after ignition. If it's far off I'll know the equation isn't right. But yours seems right based on your running temps so I think it's going to be just fine.

Appreciate your help.

And on a cooler day I could forsee your boost pressure in the 22's maybe even 23's.

Yeah thats about what I noticed for the temps, but Ill try to watch more closely next time and make sure that lines up.
